  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    Cure for a stonebruise. Mix up rib-grass, soft sugar and soap. Apply it to the swelling, and it will ripen it.
    Long ago the cure for a whitlow was to put it into hot water.
    For a sty on ones eye, it was the cure to point nine gooseberry thorns at it then to throw the ninth away.
    A spider's web is put on a cut and is supposed to stop the bleeding.
